Decades of Experience at Your Service
Assay Automation
Consumable designs can often translate complex, multi-step bench assays into one or two user steps, which enables your device to meet stringent user requirements or be granted a CLIA waiver. Expertise in high-volume manufacturing and DFM (design for manufacturing) is a core capability, enabling the development of low-cost, high-quality, market-ready designs.
Common system requirements include:
- Sample collection
- Plasma separation
- RNA/DNA purification
- Cell lysis
- Fluid metering/de-bubbling
- Fluid storage, mixing and delivery
- Magnetic bead handling
- Optical detection
- PCR reactions
- Lyophilized reagent handling
- Cell culture
- Blister pack design and integration
- High pressure (>20psi) and vacuum capabilities
